List of military conflicts spanning multiple wars

Early histories of a war typically describe the war as it was declared by the states involved. It is not uncommon for later historians to group together a series of wars over a long period or spread over several theaters as part of a broader conflict or strategic campaign. The most familiar of these in the present day is probably the Cold War, which included the Korean War, Vietnam War, and Afghan-Soviet War, among others. These groupings provide useful context for the wars involved. Note that some groupings overlap.
